Abstract
- The article discusses the various methods of generating hydroelectric power in France, including the Alpine, the Pyrean, and the Central Massif solutions, and how this power is utilized by Alpine industries. The article discusses how these solutions work, the cost of implementation, and the expected power yield. Utilization of electric power by the electro-chemical and electro-metallurgic industries, paper manufacturers, and other industries is discussed. The article examines the location, power use, manufacture, labor conditions, and means of transportation for these industries. The article concludes that hydroelectric power has been essential to the survival of these industries which face the challenge of transportation within the mountains.
